Zola, La Rage à l'Encre

ZOLA, LA RAGE À L’ENCRE From writer to champion of justice: discover, through the little-known articles that preceded the famous “J’accuse”, the behind-the-scenes story of a historic upheaval. Faced with the scandal of the Dreyfus Affair, Émile Zola sees his certainties waver. Between intimate doubts, passionate debates, and political courage, the play plunges us into the office of a man who will sacrifice everything — his freedom, his fortune, and his safety — for a single idea: Truth. But who was this man? Why and how did he become this committed author, this furious and impassioned citizen? A vibrant, burning modern show that reminds us that in the face of injustice, silence is sometimes the greatest complicity.
